Summer Snow
Introduction:
Togenkyo. A world that coexists with another planet called Earth. When the negative waves sprea, Earth was affected as well. Although the effect was less fierce, the Prophecy that was not supposed to unfold was now laid out, waiting for the pieces to move to signal a beginning, and an end. The link was strongest with one person, and she introduced to Earth the anime Gensomaden Saiyuki. Many know about Togenkyo and Earth is known to Togenkyo through books and Sanzo's newspapers.
Prologue
The silver-white moon peeked from behind the clouds, casting its rays over Togenkyo. Its light reaches a clearing where a small green jeep lay still, carrying its four passengers. On closer inspection, all are asleep except one.
Emerald green eyes watched the moon do its magic in silence, while sound, contented snores issued from the back of the jeep. The man smiled. It was rare to find peaceful nights such as this, and he had a nagging feeling on the back of his head that it wasn't going to last.
A bright light flashed in front of the jeep and there appeared the black haired, purple eyed, thin lipped, stoic faced, easily bored, deep voiced, eccentric dressing, and confident Kanzeon Bosatsu.
Sensing the goddess' presence, the other three were awake in an instant.
"You gods just LOVE to appear with a flare..." Sanzo commented, scowling at the goddess. "This better be important." Unsurprisingly, the goddess started to laugh her usual laugh.
"Ohohohohoho! You flatter me! Ohohoho!"
Gojyo stared then leaned over to Sanzo. "You had to say it…"
"Shut up," Sanzo snapped at the half-demon then turned to Kanzeon. "What do you want this time, old woman?" Although he made it clear that he was annoyed, the Goddess didn't stop at once. When she finally calmed down, her confident smile slowly faded into a serious expression, with a hint of mischief in them.
"Okay," she began, her thin lipped smile in place. "I'm sure all of you are aware of the Great Prophecy on Earth, right?"
Sanzo, Gojyo and Hakkai nodded while Goku looked at Kanzeon with his big, round curious eyes. "What prophecy?"
TONK!
Goku touched the spot where Gojyo had hit him and glared at the red head. "Itai! What was that for!" He lunges for Gojyo but he was too slow and tumbled out of the jeep. "Konno ero kappa!"
Gojyo looked down at the boy, grinning widely. "I told you not to call me that!" He said, jumping out of the jeep and both of them disappear into a cloud of dust. Hakkai, who knew he wouldn't be able to do anything, just laughed sheepishly while Sanzo fully ignored the 'idiots' and tried to remember the Great Prophecy.
"Twin stars that shine equally bright will be born on the year of peace although their sign, as other say, means war. A smaller star, a kin, will follow them, whose sign resembles peace but the year is the beginning of chaos. When the blue planet has circled seventeen around the twins and sixteen for the other, sorrow will follow one after the other, for the twin closer to the small one will fade, only to reappear after the blue planet has circled the remaining two once more."
Sanzo couldn't ignore the two any longer and brought out his fan, whacking the senses out of them. Hakkai still smiled then faced Kanzeon.
He addressed the Goddess. "But that's only half of the Great Prophecy, am I correct?" Kanzeon nodded and said. "It's the part where you come in."
"When the time has come, their powers will be revealed to perform a task no one else can accomplish but them. Four are destined to help, each very different but their past binds them strongly together. Challenges will come the stars' way but these are tests to prove if they are worthy of their name as a legendary star. One long gone will soon return and a new star will be born."
Goku, teary eyed, looked at the goddess. "But what does it have to do with us? It's Earth right? It's none of our business."
WHACK!
The boy turned his back on the group and started to sniffle. "I was only asking!"
Sanzo sighed a hopeless sigh and kept his fan. "I'm just speculating here, but I have the feeling that you want us to go there and protect the stars. (What the hell am I saying!)"
Kanzeon furrowed her brows, deep in thought. "Actually, I was just thinking of just warning you guys that more demons might attack you…" (Uh-oh… thought Sanzo) the Goddess looked at him and smiled. "But I like your idea better."
"WHAAAAAT!" Gojyo was yelling his head off then turned to the monk. "This is all your fault you droopy-eyed monk!"
"How was I supposed to know?" Sanzo yelled back, glaring at Gojyo. "And besides, she doesn't have a way of getting us there in the first place!" Kanzeon's smile grew wider at this. Sanzo knew he should have just kept his mouth shut.
With a wave of her hand like some old movie cliche, they were transported to Earth.
"What the…?" Goku jumped and looked around, squinting at the sudden brightness of noon.
Kanzeon was still with them and was grinning mischievously. She handed Sanzo a newspaper. "The instruction is all there." She smiled. "The door to the house is that way," she said, pointing to her left. The foursome looked. It was then that they realized that they were transported to the large front yard of a fairly large house. It could be a mansion, but it was too simple for it. "Good luck!"
"Wait!" called Hakkai, but he was too late. Kanzeon was gone with a spark. Silence ensued the departure, and a sense of disbelief emanating from all those present, including Hakuryuu. Hakkai turned to his companions, smiling as usual. "Yare, yare desune… Let's get it over with, shall we?"
Kanzeon watched from her endless field of lotus as the four walked up to the house and rang the doorbell. They were welcomed in without question, for each side knew the Prophecy. She clapped her hands. "Now… only one more to deal with!"
